Elevate Direct / Pontoon

[mall]

Anyone applied for contracts with Elevate Direct?

They use Pontoon?? Never used this before. Kind of thinking this could be a data gathering exercise.

Any thoughts.

Would normally ignore but been on the bench too long, so I'll just blame brexit

Yes I reckon it's data gathering

I'd just finished 2 years at a client where the chain was My co -> Well known agency -> Pontoon -> Client
I then saw Elevate advertising a gig with the same client. I thought how weird that none of the well known agencies are advertising it.
I applied, didn't hear back, and if I log on to Elevate it still says status "Application submitted" instead of saying rejected.

I had interview down at Welwyn Garden City for Tescos, where Pontoon are the contracting arm. These were absolute useless at follow ups and communication. Don't waste your time.

Pontoon recruiter seems OK, polite young bloke. No complaints so far, quick turn-around from advert, to chat, to submission, to interview. Just wait and see what happens next then.

Interesting, I had always assumed that Computer People were part of S3 group.
